Shop the best deals we could find today — Apple Airpods, Cuisinart knife set and more

If you haven’t yet made the switch to wireless earbuds, here’s a rare chance to snag some of the best — AirPods — on sale. Some 537,000 five-star fans swear by these buds for stellar sound, fit and durability, and they last up to five hours on a single charge. The charging case slips easily into your pocket so you can stay juiced up all day long. And if you ever have a question for Siri, she’s just one “Hey Siri” away. The AirPod Pros (also on sale) offer a few extra features, but many fans prefer this more affordable version.

This longtime fan tried more expensive models but ultimately returned to their best buds: “Great sound quality, lots of bass and bold sound. They fit nicely in my ears and don’t fall out. The price is reasonable too, half the price of AirPods Pro and PowerBeats Pro.”

Another agreed: “Classic buds are the best. Fits beautifully in ear and easy to use.”

Here’s a beautiful Mother’s Day gift that will live proudly in her heart and home. The 756-piece Lego flower bouquet is an activity, a memory and a work of art all in one! (I received a set from my daughter and can attest: Nothing beats building an everlasting bouquet with your favorite human. Instructions were clear and we had a blast putting it together together.) Display flowers in one bunch or split them between vases throughout the home.

“Beautiful,” wrote one fan. “My son and I built these for Mother’s Day and they are fun and pretty. Doing something together with my son was better than flowers that wilt in a week.”

Screen your favorite films, TV shows, home videos and more indoors or out with this 1080p mini projector. Connect it with your phone or other device and it’ll display up to 180 inches. You could even hook this up and play video games under the night sky. The GCZ also features a high-fidelity built-in sound system.

“Smaller but it definitely packs a punch. The picture is very clear. My older [projector] could not connect to the internet, and but this one can. I can screen mirror from my iPhone. … It can also connect with an Android or laptop. I’m really excited to connect via Bluetooth to a soundbar.”

Suck the gunk out of the air before you breathe it with this majorly marked-down, large-capacity purifier. Double discounts drop the price to $80 — well below the lowest price on record. The 1,076-square-foot capacity machine features double inlets (front and rear) to catch pollen, dust, dander, odors and more. There are four speeds and three timer settings.  

One “very happy” five-star fan wrote: “My family and I live in Louisville, Kentucky, a city ranked as one of the worst to live in for allergy sufferers. We have ours set to automatically monitor the air and change fan speed when needed. … Most of the time we can’t hear it running, but if we burn something on the stove, open windows or do anything that puts contaminants in the air, the fan will speed up and clean the air quickly. … Over the years we’ve tried several purifiers … but this has made the biggest improvement.”

It’s easy to see why these flattering cotton Hanes shorts are a No. 1 bestseller in two categories — what’s hard to believe is that they’re down to just $8 with the double discounts! The 7-inch inseam covers up jiggles, helping you feel confident and comfortable. Plus, they’ve got pockets. 

These popular shorts have nearly 40,000 five-star fans of all shapes and sizes. “Perfect for workouts,” wrote one happy shopper. “Not too short, which I like, and they don’t ride up on my thick thighs.”

Another shared: “I love how comfortable these shorts are. I’m on the taller side and the length is perfect since I prefer my shorts not to creep up too high. I ended up purchasing three pairs, and they’ve been my go-to shorts all summer! The pockets are roomy, which I think is a big plus since women’s shorts and pants often have tiny pockets. They’re pretty casual as far as the material is concerned, but I actually dressed them up a little more with a nicer top and some cute shoes.”

Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling robot vacuum is on sale for just $180, down from $275. It sucks up pet hair, dirt and dust from carpets and hard floors — even in tricky corners — on command. Just direct it using your voice, the app or the remote.

The popular pick has over 15,100 five-star fans. “Impressive home vacuum assistant,” wrote one. “It does a great job picking up hair, dust and light debris on the floor. … It does well on hardwood floors, tile, as well as wool and synthetic rugs. It is able to transition over thresholds and even lamp bases. As it is pretty narrow, it slides under the sofa and other furnishings to pick up dust and debris. You can program it to do regular cleanings so if you want the Roomba to clean on Mondays at 9 a.m., it will do it, or you can have it clean manually.”

Got a hairy situation this spring? You could be smoother by swimsuit season if you pounce on this nearly half-off deal: The XSoul at-home intense pulse light is down to $63 (was $120)! This gadget zaps unwanted hairs permanently, saving you time, money and a whole lot of hassle. There are two old-school razors included because, funnily enough, you must remove hair before starting treatment, but eventually you won’t need razors anymore. Also included: protective shades. 

“Wish I did this 20 years ago!” wrote one elated five-star fan. “I hate shaving. Seriously. The ingrown hairs and razor burn … I just hate it. … The cost of doing this at home vs. at a laser hair removal location is exceptional. I paid $60 for my first six treatments and was told it would take 18 treatments to handle my complete hair removal (a few chin stragglers). Now I’m doing face, underarms, legs, arms and bikini line for the one-time cost of this product. … My armpit hair is almost completely gone. … My bikini line is thinning.”

Cleaning the loo can be quick, easy and even a little fun with the right gadget. This cordless cleaning tool also scrubs your tub, tiles and anything else you want to sparkle. It can save your elbows, shoulders and back, and fans say it does the job faster and better than human hands. The popular pick features two speeds, an extendable arm and four replacement heads.

One five-star reviewer called the scrubber “life-changing,” saying it “made cleaning the tub and showers way easier and left everything sparkling. I like the fact that it comes with several attachments and that they are easy to switch. I also liked that it has different speeds and is very ergonomic. A great tool to teach teenagers to clean the bathroom … it will make it fun.”
